1 BTEC Centre Guide to Internal Verification 2017/18
2 Introduction This guide provides essential guidance for BTEC programme teams on the planning and implementation of the internal verification of BTEC qualifications. Internal assessment should be fair and consistent as defined by the requirements for national standards. What is internal verification? Internal verification ensures that internally assessed units: have assessment instruments (assignments) that are fit for purpose are assessed accurately to national standards judge learner evidence against the assignment criteria. utilise consistent assessment and grading across the programme. Internal verification is a necessary part of the BTEC programme and is intended to be a supportive process. 2
3 Which qualifications does this guide cover? This guide covers BTEC qualifications from Entry Level to Level 7. This includes BTECs accredited on the Qualification Credit Framework (QCF),including specialist qualifications, from 2010 and BTECs accredited on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). It does not cover BTEC qualifications accredited by SQA. For guidance on BTEC Security (SQA) qualifications please refer to the BTEC Security Centre Management Handbook. While the principles of internal verification are the same for all BTECs, there are slight differences in terminology between BTEC (QCF) Entry Level to Level 3, BTEC (NQF) and BTEC Level 4 to 7. Where relevant, these are identified throughout this guide. Fotolia_
4 Internal Verification Best Practice Internal verification can be undertaken in a number of ways, but it should be recognised and supported consistently across your centre. The following are examples of best practice: There is a recognised team of Internal Verifiers, who meet regularly to ensure standardisation of procedures There is an internal verification policy which promotes a rigorous commitment to quality improvement Internal verification processes are agreed and published so that they are clearly understood by all members of delivery teams BTEC internal verification forms are standardised across the centre Internal verification schedules are drawn up to ensure timely implementation of the process All Assessors are involved in the internal verification role Standardisation meetings are seen as pivotal staff development The time required to carry out internal verification is acknowledged. The internal verification process should be monitored in the centre, by the Lead Internal Verifier and the Quality Nominee. Full details on Lead Internal Verifiers can be found in the D Guide to BTEC Quality Assurance: 4
5 Standardisation When a unit or assignment is delivered and assessed by more than one person, standardisation should be implemented before any formal assessment and internal verification has taken place. The standardisation process is to agree the standard by discussing and mutually assessing a sample of learner work to reach a consensus. This should be done with reference to the assessment criteria and assessment guidance provided by Pearson in the qualification specification. Once agreement has been reached, the Assessors can then individually assess the work of their appointed learners, after which internal verification will take place. Standardisation can also be used as a staff development tool. We provide standardisation materials for each principal subject area, which the Lead Internal Verifier can access via OSCA. Further details can be found in the Guide to Quality Assurance here: Retaining Documents Internal verification documentation, along with the assessment tracking document should be stored for a minimum of three years after certification. Learner work must be retained for 12 weeks after certification. 5
6 Internal verification of Assignment Briefs Resources needed the unit specification the assignment brief internal verification of assignment brief form. The Internal Verifier should check that the assignment brief: has accurate unit and programme details has clear deadlines for assessment shows all relevant assessment criteria for the unit(s) covered in the assignment indicates relevant assessment criteria targeted against each task clearly states what evidence the learner needs to provide is likely to generate evidence which is appropriate and sufficient is set at the appropriate level has a time period of appropriate duration uses suitable vocational language has a clear presentation format. If you plan to re-use an assignment from the previous academic year, you should check that dates and deadlines are updated and that the assignment is appropriate for the new group of learners. We advise centres to review assignments regularly to ensure they are still fit for purpose and to make improvements based on your experience of delivering and assessing them. Authorised Assignment Briefs We are often asked how to apply the internal verification process to an Authorised Assignment Brief (AAB). If the Authorised Assignment Brief is being used off the shelf then it should be internally verified to check the dates and deadlines are appropriate only. If changes have been made to the scenario or the tasks then these will need to be internally verified. mybtec and our internal verification form provides the opportunity for you to identify when an Authorised Assignment Brief has been used and to comment on any changes made to it. 6
7 Giving feedback to the Assessor Internal Verifiers should use the feedback section on the form to provide advice and guidance to the Assessor. If an action is identified by the Internal Verifier, the Assessor should complete this and return it to the Internal Verifier for sign off prior to an Assignment being issued to learners. Internal Verifiers should provide feedback that makes any actions clear, using SMART principles. Good practice should be commented on. Timing Assignment briefs have to be internally verified, with any issues addressed, before being distributed to learners. Assignments from other sources There may be occasions where assignments may be used which have come either from published material or from other centres. These assignments still need to be internally verified to ensure that they match the specification that you are registering learners on, that the assignments are appropriate for your learners and that you have the resources to deliver them. Template internal verification forms can be found on the BTEC Key Documents webpage, under Forms: 7
8 Pearson Authorised Assignment Brief as published An Internal Verifier must ensure that: it meets the specific needs of your learners, is current and relevant for your learners and the key information including hand out dates and submission deadlines are appropriate. Adapted Pearson Authorised Assignment Brief to suit the needs of your learners The internal verification process must be sufficient to ensure the assignment brief is fully fit for purpose. Your centre s own assignment briefs The internal verification process must be sufficient to ensure the assignment brief is fully fit for purpose. Helpful Tip Our Assignment Checking Service: You can also submit assignments to an expert at our Assignment Checking Service who will help make sure you have understood and applied the relevant assessment requirements and provide useful feedback. Please note: This is a free support service and is not a replacement for internal verification, nor does it remove the need for standards verification. All assignment briefs have to be internally verified. 8
9 Internal verification of assessment decisions Resources needed the unit specification the assignment brief assessed learner work and accompanying assessment record internal verification of assessment decisions form. The internal verification sample During the course of the programme, sampling from Assessors should cover the following as a minimum: every Assessor every unit work from every assignment every assessment site (for multi-site and consortia centres). There is not a requirement that all learners must have been internally verified during the lifetime of a programme. If following a review of the sample there are any assessment concerns, the sample can be reselected. For example, if the group has been awarded high grades you may choose to increase the number of learners sampled at this grade. There is no prescribed sample size but a well-constructed sample should consider: the full range of assessment decisions made: pass, merit, distinction criteria, and not yet achieved, should all be included in the sample if possible the experience of the Assessor: new or inexperienced Assessors should have more work internally verified than an experienced Assessor new BTEC programmes: when a unit or programme is first introduced, the sample should be increased the size of the group of learners known issues with internal verification: these may have been identified previously 9
10 Top Tips We are often asked questions such as how much internal verification do we need to do or what percentage of work needs to be internally verified There isn t a definitive answer to such questions there are many factors that need to be taken into account when assessing what needs to be internally verified. Lead Internal Verifiers should ensure that a suitable internal process is completed which is based on risk. This will ensure you can provide support to colleagues who need it. We recommend that all BTEC programmes have an internal verification plan at the start of the course/unit to identify an appropriate sample size. This will be based on risk factors such as: SV feedback about the unit or Assessor in previous years Assessor experience whether the unit has been delivered before any significant changes to the delivery of the unit Internal verification plans are simply this plans. We know that things are subject to change so teams may need to reflect on the sample once delivery and assessments have commenced. As Lead IV/Internal Verifier, you will become aware of a range of issues that may need to be taken into account when it actually comes to selecting an internal verification sample such as: grades awarded by assessors learner feedback staff issues such as absence or role changes feedback obtained at Quality Management Review or other Pearson training events other stakeholder feedback e.g. OFSTED, parents, colleagues at other centres etc. 10
11 The internal verification of assessment decisions process The Internal Verifier reviews the Assessor s judgements against the learning aim, unit content, assessment criteria and assessment guidance as published in the qualification specification. It is advisable for them to check: the learner work against the assessment criteria and judge whether it has been assessed accurately. the assessment criteria. This represents the national standard and all BTEC learners are measured against it coverage of the unit content in conjunction with the assessment guidance to see if the Assessor has taken this into account It is not a requirement of the unit specification that all of the content is assessed. However, the indicative content will need to be covered in a programme of learning in order for learners to be able to meet the standard determined in the assessment and grading criteria. the feedback from Assessor to learner is accurate and linked to the assessment criteria Timing For internal verification of assessment decisions to take place, learner work must have been formally assessed. Internal verification must take place before learners receive confirmation of their achievement and feedback. If any inaccuracies are identified by the Internal Verifier, these can be corrected by the Assessor before results are made known to learners. When issues are identified by the Internal Verifier, if appropriate these should be applied across the group Internally verifying resubmissions If a request for a resubmission is made and providing there have been no issues with the Assessor s decisions at the first submission stage, then the resubmission does not need to be internally verified. Completing best practice internal verification at the first submission stage should avoid issues around resubmission. 11
12 Other essential guidance This guide has been developed with other guides, also available on the BTEC website: BTEC Centre Guide to Managing Quality BTEC Centre Guide to Assessment: Level 4-7 BTEC Centre Guide to Internal Assessment. BTEC qualification specification The specification for each BTEC qualification is the document that programme leaders and teams should use as their first point of reference for all planning and assessment. Specifications are accompanied by important assessment and delivery guidance which provide instructions and advice for each unit in the qualification. All BTEC specifications are freely available on the BTEC website: Guide to BTEC Quality Assurance Perason use quality assurance to check that all centres are working to national standards.
